Republic of Ireland
The Republic of Ireland have endured a challenging run of form in their recent matches, with a notable lack of consistency. They've managed just two wins in their last six games, suffering four defeats in the process. The team have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven matches and conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game. Their attacking output has also been lacklustre, scoring only 0.67 goals per game on average. Particularly concerning is their three-match losing streak in the UEFA Nations League, where they failed to score in back-to-back home games against Greece and England. On a more positive note, Ireland did secure a 2-1 victory over Hungary in a friendly and recently bounced back with a 2-1 away win against Finland in the Nations League. The goal difference of -7 over the last six games highlights the team's struggles, with a particularly heavy 3-0 defeat to Portugal standing out as their most significant loss during this period.
Finland
Finland's recent form has been particularly poor, with the team currently on a concerning five-match losing streak in competitive fixtures. Their last six matches have yielded just one point from a draw against Scotland, whilst conceding a worrying 16 goals and scoring only six. The Finns have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last nine matches, and have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals. Notably, their 4-2 defeat to Portugal stands out as a particularly goal-laden encounter. Finland's defensive frailties are further highlighted by their average of 2.67 goals conceded per game, contributing to a substantial goal difference of -10 over the last six matches. Despite these defensive struggles, the team have managed to find the net in four of their last six outings, suggesting some resilience in attack amidst their overall poor run of form.
